French midfielder Adrien Rabiot has voiced concerns about the playing surface at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the venue for the 2026 World Cup final. Following France’s 3-1 win against Senegal, Rabiot described the pitch as feeling artificial, raising questions about its quality. He is not the first player to express dissatisfaction, with Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior also recently criticizing the field conditions. The complaints center around the surface not meeting the expected standards for international play. The MetLife Stadium is scheduled to host the World Cup final on July 19th, prompting scrutiny of ongoing maintenance. These concerns highlight potential issues for players during the tournament and the need for improvements to the pitch. Organizers have not yet responded to the criticisms.
